Worse Bonus Stage Ever

[Xindictive]

Why was this Bonus Stage nessessary? In every other LEGO game, the Bonus Stage had some challenge in which you had to think and plan your moves carefully and quickly in order to get 1 million studs without getting screwed over because you did something that screwed you of studs. The Bonus Stages were usually one of the hardest levels in a LEGO game.

Then THIS game's Bonus Stage comes along. You start off as the Stone Giants from the first movie. Ok, cool. Then you start walking. You step on a few trees and get 100,000 studs in less than 10 seconds. I literally just walked, not attack, not interact, not do ANYTHING except WALK for 1 minute and 30 seconds and BOOM. 1 Mil. I win.

Did they just give up? Did they run out of time? Could they not think of a better Bonus Stage then this? This bonus level is the easiest and worse one of them all. You don't do anything. You just walk on trees and the city in the water and your done. How and why did they do this?

Just GETTING to the flag where you can start the Bonus Stage was harder to do then the Bonus Stage itself. Just... why?

Honestly, I thought it was a troll by the devs. Like seriously? Why it was even in the game should be questioned.

Getting there was so infuriating. I hate the precision jumping in this game, especially those which concern you jumping on rooftops.

I never put *any* planning into the bonus stages in the other games. You just smashed things until you got 1 million studs. This one was lame in comparison to those, but they didn't take any skill.

I haven't played this one yet, but passed games haven't had terribly hard bonus games!

Honestly, I am new to the LEGO games. I actually expected a proper level. Meh

They do have difficult ones. Long ones, too. This is neither. This is a minute and a half of doing nothing. All you need to use is your left hand. You can even beat this Bonus Level blindfolded.

You kinda did, in old games like the LEGO Star Wars Bonus Stages, because if you didn't, for example, use the force on everything you can use the force on and you've done everything you can do in the level (like break everything that is breakable, including ones you can use the force on) but your still missing some studs, you were screwed and have to restart all over again.

The star wars ones weren't difficult. There was no way to miss the studs, so you just had to run all over trying different things til you figured out what you missed. The batman ones were pretty fun. HP's little levels were neat, but glitchy The lego movie was downright simple. None of them have bben difficult though, but the series has never been known for difficulty.

But, like I said before, I haven't played this one. It may be as terrible as you say.

Well think about it.
To get to this Bonus Stage, it will take you at least 5 minutes. To beat it, less then 2. You gotta use different characters and abilities to get to the Bonus Stage. You complete the Bonus Stage by just walking around.

I've played alot of LEGO games and completed alot of Bonus Stages. None of them are this bad.

They aren't hard but they are long because you had to find that 1 last tree or coin.

Gonna have to agree, my favourite Bonus Level was probably LEGO Batman 2.

Recently they seem to have given up with the Bonus Levels (though LEGO Movie The Videogame had an ok one).

Is it because they had to rush this out to get it released at the same time as the movie? Possibly.

[TheFluBug]

I have to agree that the bonus stage here is a no brainer to play. Also I think I may have bypassed a bit stuff to get to it. I can get up the tower there in about 30 seconds or so. So yeah I must be doing something wrong in order to get up there.

[BushwalkerSP]

It definitely looks rushed out. And it's very lame. LOTR had a better one.

[Kadh2000]

Worst I've seen yes. Getting to it is easy too: there's a door in the back of Thranduil's Palace.

[evilkumquat]

I'm okay with it. In fact, the Bonus Level in Lego Hobbit was probably my favorite of all the Lego games (and I think I've played every Lego game now)

The Bonus Level is always my least favorite part of any Lego game- tediously walking around smashing bricks without the benefit of any of the multipliers, not to mention the awful experience in one of the Harry Potter games when it was possible to mess up the level and not get the million studs, forcing one to start over.

I look at them as the last, most annoying part of getting 100%.

I was THRILLED that this one was over so quickly and painlessly.

Compared to Batman, Star Wars and LOTR, it was pretty lame. At least the others had some puzzles thrown in to get studs and they took much longer. This was just a minute of stomping around a very small area.
